Winning blackjack players...

I play at casinos all over the country and I track my blakjack stats, here is what I have for the year so far...225 shoes, 4100 hands played, 46 hours played.

I play $10 min tables, dealer hits soft 17, DAS allowed, resplit As, no surrender.

Biggest win is $225 and biggest loss is $350.


What are the odds that I am up money at this point?

are you counting cards?

This is a duplicate thread, the discussion appears to be happening in the Questions and Answers -> Gambling forum.

You are right, it sure is.....that's because if it was just posted here noone would have any acutal input to the question.

I mention it so that if others stumble on to the topic they will know where others are actually discussing it. That's for your benefit.

Secondly, it's a rule violation:

5. Do not post the same message more than once. This includes posting the same message in two or more places, and re-posting because nobody replied the first time. If you didn't get a response the first time, chances are nobody else had anything to say about it.

Forum Rules

Furthermore:

The punishment for violating these rules will be meted out on a case by case basis. Options include a warning, temporary ban, and permanent ban.

Defending the double post is not to your benefit.

Do you always bet the same amount on each hand?
If not, what factors make you change your bet amount?
Do you play perfect basic strategy, or use hunches now and then?
Do you tip at all?
Without these answers, it is impossible to give you an answer.

Also, believe it or not, the additional information of biggest win and biggest loss makes it more difficult to answer you correctly.
Is the 'win' or 'loss' per shoe, or per session?
If not per shoe, how do you determine what is a 'session'?
If someone were to run a simulation, they would have to eliminate all scenarios where you ended up more than $225, or down more than $350.

Without knowing any of the necessary pre conditions, I'll say 5% chance you are up after 4100 hands. Just a guess

Uh oh....a rule violation NOOOO please what did I do, what can I do, oh please no, don't be mad oh master of the rules...please no, don't be mad.

I do not tip. I play BS. High win and high loss are for a session, not for a shoe. Spread bet $10-40.

Yeah, it seems like we should just flag one or both of these threads...

Insults won't help your case either.
